Lyrics

It really breaks my heart to see the
Youths on the streets selling stars
It really breaks my heart to see the youths in the street washing cars
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy
Have you ever been to bed without supper?
Have you ever been to work with an empty stomach?
Who feels it, knows it
Empty bag will never stand up
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy (Huh)
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy
Ease up on the poor innocent ones
Tell me, tell me, tell me what wrong have they done
Ease up on the poor innocent ones
Tell me, tell me, tell me what wrong have they done
Youths on the streets selling stars
Youths on the streets washing cars
Just because of the system
They have to do a little hustling
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy
Have you ever been to bed without supper?
Have you ever been to work with an empty stomach?
Who feels it, knows it
Empty bag will never stand up
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy
Ease up on the poor innocent ones (Huh)
Tell me, tell me, tell me what wrong have they done (Oh, Lord)
Ease up on the poor innocent ones
Tell me, tell me, tell me what wrong have they done
School bell ring, some youths absent
School bell ring, some youths present
Just because of the system
They have to do a little hustling
And a little scuffling
Down at the waterfront
There is no alternative
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy
Have some mercy, have some mercy, mister mercy
It really breaks my heart to see the
Youths on the streets selling stars
To see the youths washing cars
To see the youths begging the ten cents
Youths begging the five cents
Youths begging a dollar
Just because of the system (Oh, yes)
